Ue Guetsed it.
Traveling men as a rule are not
tpt to make "bad' breaks," but
siometimes they do. 'Tlie other
day, on a traiu coming into this
city,one of these gentlemen wanted
to sell out for a torn two-cent stamp,
but found no purchasers. On the
train was a particularly lovely
young lady, seated by herself, while
in the seat in front was a perfect
4pecinten of a well-to-do planter.
rhe moist weather had probably
affected the old fellows corns, as he
had taken off both boots and plant
ed his feet on .the seat in front.
Tle relief lie had experienced had
caused him to drop into a sweet
slumber, and--well, it was just
about this time that the drummer
sat down in the seat by the young
lady and commenced to make
things pleasant, after the peculiar
style of drummers in general.
"Old party in front seems pret
t y comfortable, don't he ?" saidl he.
"Yes, sir, he seems to be enjoy
ing himself."
"iMakes himself at home ; lon't
he? These old guys take a parlor
coach for a regular dressing-room.
Just look at the style of those coun
try socks, will you?"
"'They look comfortable, though,"
said the lady.
"Yes, they do ; but just look at
the style of 'em. I'll just bet they
were knit by by hand out in the
cointry somewhere."
",What makes you think so?"
"Oh, they are so dizzy, you
know. Why, I wouldn't (lisgrace
my feet by pttilg themxi into su1h
old hai covers. I'd just like tol
know who the old snoozer is and
who made those socks."
"'Well, sir," said the imiden,
'as you seem so anxious, I'll just
tell you. The gentleman you have
,o politely called an old snoozer is
my father,and 1 knitted those socks
for him myself, and as I know you
would love to get acquainted with I
him, I'll Just wake hi ui) and in-I
!.roduce you. Have you a card !"
But the drummer had flown, and
though the next station consist of
only three h'ouses, a traveling man
and three large trunks got off.
